The Nationals acquired Glassey from the Orioles on Monday in exchange for outfielder Christian Franklin, Andy Kostka of TheBanner.com reports.

Glassey, 25, has been old for his levels this season, but the righty reliever has a 2.64 ERA, 1.11 WHIP and 53:8 K:BB in 30.2 innings between High-A and Double-A. He has only logged 2.1 innings at Double-A, but given his age, he could reach Triple-A before the end of 2026.

Tawa went 3-for-4 with a three-run home run and an additional run scored in Monday's 5-1 win over San Diego.

Tawa turned on an inside sinker from Michael King and launched it into the left-field seats to give Arizona a 3-0 lead in the fourth inning. The utility man had gone 1-for-23 (.043) over his previous seven games before Monday's standout performance. On the year, Tawa is hitting .224/.280/.385 with five homers, 24 RBI, 17 runs and two stolen bases across 56 contests.

King (6-8) took the loss Monday, allowing three runs on five hits and four walks over five-plus innings against Arizona. He struck out five.

The right-hander was done in by a three-run homer surrendered to Tim Tawa in the fourth inning. King threw 66 of 104 pitches for strikes, issuing four walks for the sixth time this season. Through 130.1 innings (23 starts), the 31-year-old owns a 3.45 ERA, 1.20 WHIP and 114:54 K:BB. His next start is tentatively scheduled for Saturday against Houston.

Pfaadt (6-1) earned the win Monday, allowing one unearned run on five hits and a walk over 6.2 innings against the Padres. He struck out three.

Pfaadt kept the Padres offense quiet, with the lone run he surrendered in the seventh inning being unearned. The right-hander has been incredible since being recalled June 30, compiling a 6-0 record with a 1.55 ERA and 1.03 WHIP across seven starts spanning 40.2 innings. Overall, Pfaadt owns a 3.66 ERA, 1.26 WHIP and 52:22 K:BB across 78.2 innings (20 appearances, 10 starts) and is tentatively slated to pitch Saturday against the Dodgers.

Tovar went 4-for-4 with a solo home run and two additional runs scored in Monday's 13-9 loss to the Rays.

Tovar couldn't be stopped at the plate, logging a season-high four hits. The shortstop's solo homer in the third inning marked his first long ball since July 6, with the 25-year-old hitting a measly .098 in 17 games during the drought. It's been a challenging 2026 for Tovar, who's slashing .202/.247/.330 with nine homers, 36 RBI, 38 runs and five stolen bases across 104 contests.

Moniak went 2-for-4 with a solo home run, a triple, an additional RBI and an additional run scored in Monday's 13-9 loss to the Rays.

Moniak unloaded on an elevated fastball from Michael Grove, sending it 447 feet into the second deck in right field for a solo homer in the eighth inning. The 28-year-old has been a constant threat at the plate in 2026, slashing .277/.318/.565 with 18 homers, 49 RBI, 39 runs and a stolen base across 75 games. With the Rockies opting to hold onto Moniak beyond Monday's trade deadline, the two sides have reportedly agreed to a two-year extension that is expected to be finalized Tuesday, per Thomas Harding of MLB.com.

Palacios went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run, an additional run scored and a walk in Monday's 13-9 win over Colorado.

Palacios got in on Tampa Bay's offensive outburst, pulling a two-run homer down the right-field line in the ninth inning. Monday marked the second baseman's first multi-hit game since July 7 after he had struggled mightily at the plate in recent weeks. Overall, the 29-year-old is hitting .229/.325/.346 with five homers, 32 RBI, 32 runs and nine stolen bases across 82 contests.

Caminero went 2-for-5 with two homers, three total RBI and an additional run scored in Monday's 13-9 win over the Rockies.

Caminero showed off his power, lifting a 422-foot two-run homer in the first inning before adding a 442-foot solo blast in the fourth frame. Monday marked the 23-year-old's third multi-homer game of the season and first since June 25. The superstar third baseman is slashing .283/.373/.557 with 32 homers, 69 RBI, 69 runs and two stolen bases across 112 games.

Aranda went 4-for-5 with a double, two RBI and two runs scored in Monday's 13-9 win over Colorado.

Aranda was a hit machine, logging four hits for the first time since May 3. It was a much-needed performance for the first baseman, who entered Monday's contest batting just .183 in 15 games since the All-Star break. Otherwise, the 28-year-old has put together a strong campaign, slashing .286/.376/.437 with 14 homers, 67 RBI and 53 runs across 109 contests.

Lorenzen (3-10) took the loss Monday, allowing seven runs on seven hits and three walks over three innings against the Rays. He did not record a strikeout.

Lorenzen was rocked from the outset, giving up a two-run homer to Junior Caminero in the first inning before surrendering five more runs over the next two frames. The veteran hurler has struggled mightily this season, allowing seven-plus runs in five different outings. With a 6.94 ERA, 1.85 WHIP and 80:43 K:BB across 107.2 innings (24 appearances), the right-hander is tentatively slated to pitch Sunday against the Cardinals.
